Why are grass cuttings not collected during the grass cutting process?

What happens to grass at the base of trees and obstacles?

We use the largest possible mowers to make cutting as efficient as possible. Sometimes these machines can’t cut close enough to trees and bases of obstacles. We use a fully approved herbicide in these areas.

Why do you let grass grow to different lengths in some areas?

Why do you cut grass when it’s wet?

Grass cutting is a large-scale operation and therefore cannot only be done in perfect conditions. It is delayed if conditions become so bad that we would be damaging the surface or putting our operatives in danger.

I get disturbed by the Council using mowers early in the morning. Can you start later?

Due to the size of the job of maintaining grass verges, open spaces and parks in the District we have to start work early in the day. Crews are asked not to start before 7am in heavily populated areas to cause as little disturbance as possible.
